Big Brother is a global event, viral, spreading fast, including in our own backyard. Think about it,even i on the shores Eggemoggin Reach in a 30 square mile town with 1.5 thousand people am in no way in privacy, if people knew my co-ordinates they could go on GOOGLE and focus in on my house via GOOGLE satellite----imagine what our governments. Absolutelely NO ONE in the U.S. now have any protection from being monitored at all timesby the U.S. Government.(Thanks to our Congress, who are enabling Bush to dismantle the U.S.Constitution) The point is the whole world is is in a massive paradigm shift to totalitarianism. For me the solution has been to resolve that my country is MYSELF as i watch the world become one massive Ant Colony. My guideline i Max recognize no flags , i am my own government , to be ruled only by my conscience and the force of EMPATHY. i take full responsibility for what i am , if i do something wrong, i must be my own judge and make amends to whomever i , in weakness, hurt in someway. i never make excuses.

Big Brother has arrived in China? When was Big Brother not a constant presence in China? From my reading the direction of change in China is a loosening, not tightening, of restrictions. I watched a doco the other day that showed the existence of environmental activists and whistle-blowers in China. It struck me that many of China's problems are the result of unfettered capitalism, similar to the situation in the US 50-100 years ago. The fact that the state is the main investor doesn't seem to be of critical importance - effectively there is a class of people who run things and reap most of the benefits, and although we put a different label on them their profit motive is the same.
